Quite, private and lovely.

The place was great and as described. Very cozy and quiet. Terri was very personable and attentive, but generally the experience was one of peace and privacy. Terri is obviously experienced in hosting which was very nice and we can easily recommend her. We will likely try to book again next time we're in the area.

Daniel2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Terri & her husband were great. What a wonderful little space to relax. The hot tub was a great way to wind down & watch the sunset after a day of hiking.

Kristen2015-04-22T00:00:00Z

Everything about this experience was perfect. Terri was extremely responsive as we approached our arrival and helpful when we had questions after we got there. The Nook itself is everything we dreamed of, and then some. Even though it was small, it was stocked with everything we needed (we were able to cook full meals in the kitchen nook!) and decorated in a charming way. We especially loved the electric fireplace, the rain shower, the outdoor firepit, and of course the hot tub! Soaking in the hot tub and admiring the trees and stars (which we can't do back home in LA) was perfect. Oakhurst itself is a quaint but fully-equipped town, and the drive to Yosemite wasn't outrageous at all. I am hoping to have an opportunity to come back here sometime. Thank you Terri!

Laura2015-01-15T00:00:00Z

I can't say enough about our time at Natures Nook and Terri's wonderful family. Everything was absolutely perfect. We arrived late at night to a lit walkway, a warm room and a lovely bottle of wine to relax us after our long drive. The accommodation is to die for. The room is cozy and clean with an even comfier bed, There is fully stocked kitchenette, TV, DVD player, Netflix, and Hot tub. Every detail was taken into account and we really appreciated all of the little, wonderful details throughout the room. We immediately got into the hot tub, drank wine under the stars and started what would be one of the most relaxing weekend getaways we can remember having. We woke up the next morning to fresh baked scones provided by Terri (the best I've ever had) and we're rested to start a great day of hiking in Yosemite. Aside from the incredible accommodation and hospitality shown to us by Terri and family the location of Natures Nook could not be more ideal. Just a short 15 minute drive and you are in Yosemite. Drive for another 30-40 minutes and you are in the Valley soaking in the incredible views, hikes, and splendor that is Yosemite. The only thing better than the views was knowing we had such a comfortable place to come back to after an exhausting day of hiking. I know this will only be the first of many stays at Natures Nook and I truly cannot wait to get back and say hello to Terri and her family again. They gave us our privacy, but were incredibly friendly at the same time. We had some fantastic conversations and loved chatting with them coming and going to and from our adventures of the day. All in all, don't hesitate to book at Natures Nook. Its just that special of a place.

Matt2014-01-28T00:00:00Z

We loved staying here. The place is cosy, very clean and modern. It comes with a hot tube which is great after a long climb in Yosemite.

Ally2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

The perfect romantic getaway. Would absolutely recommend to anybody planning to travel around Yosemite. Thanks Terry!

Nick2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Terri's nook was charming, quiet, clean and super relaxing. I loved the hot tub and the surrounding trees. Even though this place is cozy, there's enough room to cook proper meals and spend a lot of time indoors in case the weather is rainy, which it was for our trip.

Jennifer2017-01-11T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Nature's Nook for 3 nights and wish we had stayed longer! The Nook is perfect! We drove to Yosemite each day for hiking, and on the way back each afternoon we stopped in Oakhurst for groceries. We enjoyed grilling dinner outside and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. The Nook is well-maintained, practically brand new, and comes stocked with everything you need. We took advantage of the mini-fridge, coffee pot, hot plate and grill. They even included items like plastic baggies, aluminum foil, and a cooler so we were able to pack lunches for the day. Next time we return to the area, we will surely stay at Nature's Nook!

((PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)

We are located in a 5 acre minimum neighborhood. Considered a safe family environment, with beautiful views & a peaceful atmosphere.

This place is the best--highlight of our trip up to NorCal. Plus the hosts went above and beyond the call of duty, both in helping us navigate our way up to Yosemite, and then, when we had car trouble on our way out, finding a mechanic and a tow-truck. We'll definitely be recommending it to friends.

Kevin2014-08-14T00:00:00Z

Great location, easy check-in process. We arrived late at night after a long drive and had absolutely no problems getting into our room.

Jared2014-02-24T00:00:00Z

My family had a great time staying with John and Brenda for 3 nights. Suite was roomy and clean. The hosts are friendly. Breakfast was delicious. John had lots of good advice about trails in Yosemite to visit. Location is close to Oakhurst. There are options for supermarkets and restaurants. Driving into Yosemite is a little over an hour into the valley.

John2014-05-19T00:00:00Z

Sierra Lodge was amazing- the cabin was spacious, clean and homely. John and Brenda were so accommodating, friendly and gave us lots of helpful tips- can't praise them high enough. The breakfast was really good, endless waffles and pancakes! John was particularly helpful when we knocked our car brake light. Would recommend to anyone.

Jessica2014-10-03T00:00:00Z

Amazing place to stay. Was a very quick trip for us, but would of loved to stay for longer. The most comfy bed EVER! We had the best sleeps. Beautiful surrounds, delicious breakfast and helpful advice re the falls. Would stay there again happily for a few days!

Deanne2016-05-27T00:00:00Z

The place was beautiful. Quite and serene. The studio was spacious and could fit 4 people comfortably

Viveksagar2016-05-11T00:00:00Z

Great place! Very clean and comfy Even has breakfast Price was reasonable And it is not far from Yosemite Definitely a great place to stay!

仕弦2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

A really pretty little cabin in the woods! The fall colors made it all the more beautiful! T he cabin was comfortable and had all the comforts of home. Brenda was great and was very concerned that everything was fine. We arrived a lot later than we wanted and didn't get to spend as much time as i would have liked - but i would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone going to Yosemite! A beautiful location

Welcome to my family's beautiful 360 acre cattle ranch outside of Yosemite. Homesteaded in 1892. Enjoy a little peace and quiet in a wonderful old cabin on the edge of the Fresno river. Consider it glamping and a wonderful time awaits you.

An old cabin built on stilts on the edge of the Fresno River. Privacy and nature abound. A most relaxing space to quiet down and rest. Best sleep of your life. A gentle breeze and the lull of the river will relax you into a deep slumber upon rich bed linens. Romantic. Secluded. Beautiful. Bathe in the outdoor tub under the stars of the beautiful night sky. Two indoor bedrooms and one great covered screened-in sleeping porch. Best room in the house we think. Spend the afternoon swimming in the Fresno river. Nap in the hammock. And then there are the summer evenings on the deck over the river which are magical. The crickets and the frogs blissfully sing to you.
360 acres of hiking through old mining country with its rivers, springs, mountains and canyons. Perfect for families. A safe and wonderful place to explore. Say hello to our family's cows and horses. Gentle, sweet and docile they are.

The mountains. The canyons. The river. The secluded swimming holes. The wildlife. The mines. The exploration. Waking up to a bold cup of coffee on the edge of the river. The clean beautiful air. You will soon understand, it is like no other place on earth. Welcome.

My husband and I and another couple stayed at the River Cabin at JWP Ranch Yosemite over Memorial Day weekend. We had a wonderful time. This was probably one of the most relaxing lodging experiences we have ever had. The area was secluded and we felt like there is no one else was around. The picture you see with the 2 red chairs by the river is what it is really like. We all played in the river for hours and then when it got dark we sat in the chairs and had a few drinks. The cabin was spacious, clean, and had everything you need. Sam was a great host. This is a great place to stay to get away from it all. The whole experience was wonderful. We will go back again!!

Tom2014-05-27T00:00:00Z

Stacey was very welcoming and helpful, the cabin is so beautiful, thanks for making us feel so welcome!!! Best wishes, Laura.

Laura2014-10-09T00:00:00Z

We stopped in this beautiful lodge after a day in Yosemite, thinking that the fun stopped. But I didn't! We had a great time in the second morning their and we had some time to enjoy the scenery around the ranch and the kids where so happy when they saw the cows around. Sam was vary helpful with giving instructions and understanding about little changes in our plan. The house was so ready like an nice hotel, but also it felt like home, with beautiful art and antiques everywhere around, not to forget the kitchen.

Basel2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

The description of this place cannot capture just how wonderful this place is. Between the amazing hosts, the friendly free-range cows (and other wild animals), the creek, the rocking chairs, and many other things, you are assured to have a great stay having fun in a way that is tough to come these days. Would recommend to everyone! This is a special place and we will be visiting again!

Jordan2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay at the River Cabin and would highly recommend it. The pictures cannot do this place justice. The river and surrounding farm are beautiful and being on the farm is a great escape. The location made for easy access to Yosemite and other surrounding towns which was wonderful. The sleeping porch provides the best night's sleep you could imagine!

Innes2017-03-10T00:00:00Z

this place was just as advertised, secluded, rustic & eclectic! we would have liked to longer & continue to adventure on the property. the enclosed porch room is a must! the kitchen was adequately stocked!

Brandi2016-11-04T00:00:00Z

The river cabin was a great experience. This location is somehow magical and provides everything for a calm stay. I would definitely stay there again if I go back to Yosemite.

Simon2015-06-26T00:00:00Z

Staying at the cabin was relaxing, rejuvinating, and just a wonderful experience. The cabin offered the comfort of city ammenities, with the surroundings of peaceful wilderness. Taking a hot bath in the outdoor tub under the stars on a chilly night is an experience I will never forget. The entire experience was top notch!

Her house is extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and a real home from home. The house has a restful, soothing ambience and is a clear reflection of Dawn's personality. Her breakfast parfaits are not to be missed and will live in our memories. We would recommend the Mighty Oaks to anyone and we shall be returning there.

Hedley2014-07-26T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at the Mighty Oaks. The rooms and the house are exactly how they are shown on the pictures. Dawn is one of the best hosts I´ve ever met. We had some nice talks, she is very helful and prepares a wonderful breakfast with big parfeits. The rooms are cozy, clean and big enough. The bathroom is clean! The house is in a wonderful area. Very quiet and it feels like you are living in a forest together with animals in the backyard. Awesome! We stayed here to visit the Yosemite National Park. You can get easily to The South Entrance (mariposa Grove) and to the Valley (takes you about one and a half hour) by car. Its a long but interesting ride. Ohe main road in Oakhurst there are lots of restaurants and supermarkets. Everything you need! The only thing we didn´t like was the soft mattress of the bed. We´re not used to sleep on those soft mattresses. All in all we would recommend the Mighty Oaks to everyone.

Philipp2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

Though we stayed only for one night, the hospitality that Dawn had was so heart-warming that we felt at home instantly.

Junhan2015-06-29T00:00:00Z

Perfect! We had great days at Dawn's house. Our room and the whole house was very clean. The breakfast is unique, delicious and you get energy for the whole day. Dawn is very helpful and friendly.

Britta2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

Hi Dawn !!! thank you to be a so nice and friendly host. Your house is so charming and so clean, so quiet, perfect for a break in our trip. We hope to stay more the next time Take care ps: we loved your breakfast !!!!

Mourad2012-05-25T00:00:00Z

My husband and I highly recommend a stay at the Might Oaks. It was simply lovely. Dawn is a wonderful host - friendly but not overbearing and certainly gives you your space. Her home is very inviting and warm and so peaceful. It was a great 'home' to come back to after our days in Yosemite (very close). Oakhurst is also a neat little town with all the amenities you would need right there. Her breakfasts were a true treat!

We loved Brenda and John's tranquil Sierra Mountain Lodge - we stayed in the Oak Suite and loved the peacefulness. Spent lots of time on the verandah taking in the beautiful views. It is such a beautiful part of the countryside - Yosemite is one of the most amazing places and it has a special place in our hearts. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for giving us our independence. Lorna, Ronnie and Georgia

Lorna2014-10-11T00:00:00Z

I stayed one night at this place. All I can say is that, Brenda was a great host. We contacted her by phone many times and she was always helpful. Everything was fantastic.

Khashayar2015-03-25T00:00:00Z

Great check-in process. Everything was in place when we arrived. Beautiful area and home. I only have positive things to say about staying at Brenda's place!

Mik2015-08-14T00:00:00Z

Brenda and John are perfect hosts and were ready with suggestions for our trip to Yosemite! The room was very clean, the property was adorable and the mountain views were spectacular! Brenda and John were on hand each morning cooking up a delicious breakfast! Would recommend to anyone and hope to return someday!

Deron2014-06-22T00:00:00Z

The place was charming and great location between both entrances to Yosemite and a couple good size towns for amenities and restaurants. Easy check in and nice stay!

Lisa2016-11-25T00:00:00Z

We had an awesome time there, there is no kitchen in the suites but there are BBQs. When we got there it was raining and cold, but everything changed once we got in. It was very cozy and nice. this is a lodge not a home so if you are looking for a place away from people and other building this might not be the place for you. however, this place was still secluded, quite with pretty view. We got there pretty late and they even allowed us to have a late checkout since nobody else was coming in. We really enjoyed our stay.

Bestoor2015-02-10T00:00:00Z

This was our second time staying at the Sierra Mountain Lodge. Fantastic experience! Nice and quiet at night, great kitchenette for warming stuff up, cable TV to watch the Warriors game after a long day of hiking in Yosemite (40 min from the park entrance), and a scrumptious morning breakfast as part of your stay. What more can you ask for!

Zal2015-06-09T00:00:00Z

We just completed a terrific stay at the Sierra Mountain Lodge (5 nights). We rented the Oak Suite with three adults in our party. The photos on the website depict the suite exactly as it is--a comfortable room with a bed and comfy pull-out couch bed. The kitchen provides all the essentials and the bathroom was clean with basic necessities provided. Our hosts, Brenda and John, were welcoming, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Each morning they provided a hot breakfast in the main lodge building and offered useful tips on how to get the most out of the visits to Yosemite. The Lodge is about a half-hour drive or so from the South Gate to Yosemite. To some, this may be a drawback. However, we found that, particularly after seeing how crowded the "Valley" was, returning to our own place for a glass of wine/dinner on our own quiet deck was much nicer than the convenience of staying closer by. It's a substantially longer drive to the main Valley and even longer to Tioga Pass Road and its attractions. However, for those who don't mind driving through fantastic scenery and returning to a great little private cottage, this lodge works out fine. There are supermarkets and restaurants located in Oakhurst (about ten minutes south and en route to the South Gate), so stocking the fridge and getting supplies was easy. We had a great dinner at the Wawona Hotel, but most nights we ate on our deck at the cottage. Yosemite Valley, which holds many of the "must-see" sites in the park, was very crowded. There were hotels and campsites in the Valley--all of which were booked up solid when I planned our trip. That turned out to be a good thing since it led me to find the Sierra Mountain Lodge instead. I have no doubt our vacation there was much more private and peaceful than what we would have experienced had we stayed where the crowds stayed in the Valley or at a cookie-cutter resort hotel in a nearby town. We'd love to return some day to Yosemite, and would have no hesitation to stay at Sierra Mountain Lodge again.

Brenda and her husband are fantastic hosts! My husband and i loved our suite and the view! Our bed was so comfortable we didn't want to get out of it. If you want to stay in a quiet B&B close to Yosemite then this is where you have to stay! My husband and I are already planning on coming back and bringing more family with us!

Leah2014-06-09T00:00:00Z

The description on air BnB was true to word. Stunning view, very serene & private. The floors were a little creaky but that added to the rustic feeling. Such a stunning place.

kim2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the sterling suite and the view was great! The unit was clean with adequate amenities. Location is convenient as well!

Jessie2015-12-28T00:00:00Z

Our hosts were very friendly and full of valuable advice about our visits to Yosemite. The rooms were wonderfully comfortable and with a brilliant view. Breakfasts were superb, on a sunny balcony.

Great place to stay. Very comfortable, Mark and Mary are Wonder host and they are super close to Yosemite.

Daniel2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

This was so much like our own little trailer that it was a home away from home for us. What a wonderfully peaceful place to stay. We ate our breakfast, provided by Mary, outside under the awning, while watching hummingbirds flit from one flower to the next. The accommodations were clean and cozy. And Mary made us feel so welcome!

Gineve2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Christin2016-02-07T00:00:00Z

I plan on staying there again , really enjoyed our stay

Brian2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

The accommodation was perfect for our travels around the west of America. We stayed for 2 nights and Mary and Mark were very hospitable providing coffee and breakfast in the morning and offering the use of their cooler and knowledge of Yosemite. There were 4 of us so the TV room came in great use. The only problem that we found was the bathroom because of there being 4 of us but it was a minimal issue. Overall, this is everything you want from an airbnb - it's a unique set up and you meet some lovely people.

Sarah2015-08-27T00:00:00Z

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our short stay here very much! Mary was very bubbly and welcoming. She brought out breakfast to us in the morning and a couple deer came right up to the camper and hung out! The camper had everything we could needed to relax after a long day hiking at Yosemite. Everything about our stay was great!

Paul2015-09-26T00:00:00Z

Beds were prepared, there was cold water in fridge. Our host offered continental breakfast and coffee as well.

Centrally located in the small town of Oakhurst. 15 miles to the south entrance of Yosemite National Park. 8 Miles to Bass Lake & 1 mile to town. We have a very cozy nice private room that fits 2 comfortably. Along with it's own outside access.

Average size room, light & bright. Amazing cal king bed, walkin shower, shower chair available. Additional small twin rollaway bed available. Includes a dining room table & chairs, bottle water dispenser, some kitchen amenities. Kind of like a mini apartment just no stove. Don't forget the swimming pool, very cold great for those really hot days

Very close to center of town, movie theater, park, churches, library, shopping, restaurants. Fresno Flats historic park is walking distance. High School track and field, across street, school has heated pool. Oakhurst Park nearby.
Neighbors approximately an acre apart. Not that close. This is a pretty quiet neighborhood so if you like seclusion we are up there

We had a great stay at Vickies house. the room is perfect for two people and the best location to explore Yosemite Nationalpark! Vickie was very kind

Valerie2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay here. It was a great launching point into Yosemite and provided a nice private place to relax after a long day of hiking. The space itself was big and well-kept, and Vickie was a great host.

Eric2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Vickie is a very nice person,and she was so helpful in arranging our celebrations before we arrive. Her was awesome, the room has all facilities that we required. Overall it was great experience staying at her home. Thanks Vickie for making our tour memorable.

Located in a very quaint little town with many restaurants and shops to choose from. Easy access to Yosemite. Very clean and great features for your stay. Pool may or may not be ready during your stay if you stay before actual summer months (even if it super hot out!). Hosts are very welcoming and hospitable.

April2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

This is a nice clean private room with microwave, fridge and coffee maker. Vickie was nice and she just steam cleaned the carpet before we came. Highly recommended place to stay if you want to visit Yosemite for a few days.

Reynard2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Everything is great with Vickie and her place. The location is fairly close to the yosemite southgate, the house has great and complete amenities. Overall its a pleasure to stay here.

Jen2017-06-07T00:00:00Z

We couldn't have had a better experience! My friends and I booked this getaway for a weekend at Yosemite. The cabin was in a great area, the rooms were fantastic, and the patio was nice place to wind down. Kathleen was kind and made sure we had what we needed. I look forward to renting out her place again.

Nadeen2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

Photos probably don't do this property total justice. It is a bright home plenty of windows and is nicely furnished. Spotless and located in a quite residential neighborhood with a very large front and back deck. Kathleen our host was communitive, had fresh fruit, water, muffins in the refrigerator waiting for us.

Barbara2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

My family had a awesome time in Kathleen's home she was the best host by far. She made everyone feel right at home. She really goes the extra mile to make your stay so great. I would 110% recommend anyone I know to stay in her place. Thanks again Kathleen for making our time so at you're place so special

Joe2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

The last town before you enter Yosemite is Oakhurst and if you plan to stay here look no further and just hit book! This house is a cozy yet spacious one. Nice decks both in the front and back. Kitchen is a grocery store in its own. We had to carry all our supplies back as Kathleen had it all stocked up. Clean all around with wifi and TV in 2 rooms and even an Alexa to keep you company. Very close to grocery and restaurants in the main Oakhurst area... I did not understand why it is marked not kid friendly as we had two 5 years old in our group and they loved it. Kathleen is a warm and welcoming host, always responds within minutes and super helpful... She treats guests like family... If i come back to Yosemite I am gonna come back here for sure...

Manodipto2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Kathleen is a wonderful host! She checked in before and during our stay, and her home is well equipped for a family to stay the week for a trip to Yosemite. I loved that she had fire wood available for us to use her cute fireplace. She also left little index cards everywhere with notes for us. Very good attention to detail, would definitely recommend!!

Vivian2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Kathleen's was beyond what we expected. Everything was perfect! Rooms were spacious and warm, living room was HUGE, and the kitchen was totally accessible! My family and I stayed here before traveling up to Yosemite and we are so glad we chose this place! Kathleen is easy to contact and even leaves small little notes around the house for you. I loved every minute of my stay! Was also close enough to markets and food yet far enough for quiet sleep at night. I can't rave enough about her place. Will definitely be up again very soon!

Ben2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

Carla's space was as pictured and even though I didn’t meet her she was very accommodating. The only negative was even though the place is 20 minutes to the gate of Yosemite it is another 35 miles to the valley floor (half dome). The additional miles made for a long drive to and from the park each day. Other than the distance to Yosemite we were very happy with our stay.

Asher2015-08-08T00:00:00Z

Carla's place worked out great for our trip to Yosemite. It was convenient to many restaurants and groceries. The space was as shown in the pictures and clean. The only issue we had was the heat. The space heater did not have the power to heat the whole room. With temps in the 30-40s and rain, it was pretty cold all of the time. Otherwise, great place!

Jason2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

perfect location for a visit to Yosemite! we only spent about 12 hours in Carla's guest house but it was lovely! exactly like the pictures, less then 30 minutes to Yosemite gates and plenty of options for food nearby. 100% try the Pizza Factory if you can!

You’ll love our place because we are in a real log cabin, two blocks from the main highway to Yosemite. 20 minutes to the South Gate of Yosemite, 11 minutes to Bass Lake. Just blocks to shopping, art galleries, restaurants and local parks..

A queen size sleeper sofa is available.

Me and my girlfriend had a perfect stay at Dotties place. We arrived late on our first day because we were in Yosemite Valley all day and she was super responsive and friendly. Her place is actually much bigger than we had expected. The house is beautiful and so is the room with the balcony. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go to Yosemite and have a great time there. Thanks so much for the great weekend!

sebastian2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

This place is fantastic! If you need a spot a little outside of Yosemite look no further! Big, clean, beautiful and home and great hosts! It was particularly nice to have breakfast made in the morning and a fully stocked bathroom with shampoo and soap and everything.

David2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

Me and my wife had a really pleasant experience meeting and staying at Dorothy's place. We came in late at night and left early in the morning at around 4 am - later the same day around 10.30 am we checked in with Dorothy whether we could come back freshen up and rest for a few hours and she was very flexible with us doing so. Highly recommended. Thank you, Dorothy!

Great for a weekend in Yosemite! The house is beautiful and authentic, located only approx. 1 hour from Yosemite Valley. The surrounding town is nice and there are restaurants and supermarket close by. Dorothy is super friendly and hospitable! She is flexible and easy to communicate with prior to the stay. She provided breakfast and freshly made coffee every morning, wow! I warmly recommend Dorothy's home to everyone and would even stay there again at any time! :)

Christina 2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Dorothy was a wonderful host! She responded very quickly to all questions and was very flexible with our arrival time. The house was beautiful and our room was great. The drive to Yosemite was doable for a day trip, and they had lots of recommendations for other things to do outside of the park. This is one of our favorite places we have stayed and we highly recommend it to fellow travelers!

Rebecca2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

We really loved staying here, it was such a nice and cool wooden cabin. Dorothy and her husband was very welcoming and service minded, and Rexie the dog was so cute:) And you also get breakfast, very nice! Would definetely recommend it for people visiting the Yosemite.

This is exactly what AirBnB should be about: feeling at home far from home. Judy and Eddie are such loving and wonderful people. Their home was very cozy, the dogs adorable but best of all: the house was fully decorated for Hallowoon at the end of this month. Normally I never book private rooms on AirBnB but private homes for I like the privacy and being by myself. But the excellent stay at Judy and Eddie's might havr changed my mind. The room was perfect (that brown blanket!! Best ever), very clean, and sweet little details like the toiletries, shampoo etc completed the whole experience. Perfect to (re)charge your batteries before or after Yosemite

Maarten2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

Eddie and Judi are amazing hosts and their house is a treasure, with eclectic decorations and new things to explore around every corner! Great value given all that they do for you - snack packs, breakfast, extra toiletries, good conversation! Really enjoyed chatting with Eddie and Judi and hanging with their sweet dogs. Hope to return some day!

What a gem!!!! We stayed for one night before we went to Yosemite and I am so glad that we did. The house is located next to a creek. Everything is supercomfy and spottless! The hosts Eddie and Judy are two of the best people you will ever meet. We had the best time chatting and they made us feel incredibly welcome. We highly recommend staying at this perfect place. You won't regret it!

Eddie and Judi they are really very warm! When they arrived they gave a little surprise, and each room had some special places (the room would have a landlord left behind the paper, there is something special about the room you wrote). Every corner there are big and small interesting things, even the toilet supplies are very hard to see the landlord really very carefully treated every guest. The landlord gave me great flexibility. I told them that I would go out at night, may come back late, the landlord put the back door opened, to prevent me back too late they can not open the door. Location is also very beautiful, although it is on the hill, but not far from the downtown, very quiet at night. There is a river outside the house, there are chairs and so on. Because there is no light harm the problem at night to see the stars really super beauty! But the most I like is to live in this room when you encounter a lot of different people, and there will be many opportunities to communicate with them, the feeling is a big family. Overall, this property is perfect in all aspects, coupled with the warm hospitality of the landlord, so I have a lot of experience this trip, but also very pleased to select this a house. Those who plan to go to Yosemite National Park can consider this house!

Eddie and Judy are fantastic host and made us feel at home. their place is lovely and original, far better than any hotel you would get in the area. location is great to visit yosemite (about 30 mins to the park entrance). if you are a dog lover like me you will feel in love with their 3 beautiful dogs. highly recommended

Beautifully appointed room, incredibly warm, open and generous hosts and a jaw-dropping backyard. Our dog had an absolute blast with their dogs and Judy was even so kind as to give him a bath because he was itching. This is the best experience I've ever had on Airbnb and the perfect launch point for exploring Yosemite. Thank you so much for an unforgettable time!!

This cozy cottage is in a great location for anyone who is looking to experience all the mountains has to offer.

The cottage is in a great for seeing the local attractions. It is 13 miles away from the southern gate to Yosemite National Park and Bass Lake is only 3 miles away. There are hiking just a few miles away. Lewis Creek is a beautiful hiking trail 7 miles away. Another wonderful place to visit is Nelder Grove. Nelder Grove is a stand of giant sequoias 27 miles from the cottage. The cottage is in a great location to be able to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors but still have have a quiet place to sleep.

This cottage sure was cozy! It was super cute and comfortable. Darla had everything we needed: from blankets to towels to even coffee and shampoo. My friends and I were visiting Yosemite for a few days and we decided to stay at the cottage. It was only a few miles from the south entrance so it was super convenient. I really loved exploring the area around the cottage as well! This is a great little weekend getaway as well as a quiet escape. My friends and I really enjoyed staying here. I would definitely recommend!

We had 4 wonderful days in this cottage. It's very well located, bass lake is less than 5 minutes driving and Yosemite is reached very quickly (around 1 hour dirving). Darla and her husband have been giving us a lot of nice advise to enjoy the region even more. We really appreciated that. We definitely recommend that place.

Sidharth2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

One of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had. The hosts were very welcoming and we had our space to celebrate the new year. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Tiernan2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

What a gorgeous place to stay near Yosemite! Debra & Bart were great hosts. Their communications and directions were very clear, and the place is exactly as their page describes. This place is very convenient to shops/restaurants in Oakhurst and close to the park entrance. The apartment is spacious with a great view. We appreciated the snacks, drinks, fluffy towels, and strong wifi. Would definitely recommend for larger groups, as the sleeping arrangements are flexible. Wish it had been warm enough to sit on the porch!

Lianne2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

We had a pleasant stay at the place. Debra and Bart were very friendly. Bart helped us check in and walked through with us and showed where all amenities present in the house. Their two adorable dogs made us feel safe at night in the secluded house.... Our toddler enjoyed playing on swing present in the patio. If not to visit yosemite, we will definitely visit again to have complimentary yummy muffins

Sri Sindhu2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

We love everything in this house, especially the BBQ place. The dogs are really cute. I love the decorations in the kitchen and bathroom. It offers shampoo, conditioner, towel and so many other small things. The host is really sweet, offering drinks and cakes everyday. I'll definitely come again.

Junnan2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place to stay.. Ideally located near Yosemite.. Debra and Bart were gracious hosts

Natarajan2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Perfect place for what we needed, with going to Yosemite. Debra and Bart were very helpful when the hot water didn't work briefly. Highly recommend, close to Yosemite and to town

Rustic 500 sq. foot studio cottage comfortable for 2 people but will accommodate up to 4. Located 5 miles above Oakhurst and only 16 miles to the south entrance of Yosemite and 2 miles to Bass Lake. Bird and wildlife friendly yard so expect "interesting" surroundings. Relax on the patio while you BBQ or observe the flowers, trees and birds. Take a walk down the road to the nearby creek. People from all walks of life are welcome here.

The cottage is just across the walkway from the main house. Best suited for 2 people as it is a studio with no private rooms. Queen size bed plus a double size futon. The bathroom is tiny but adequate. Kitchen is stocked with plates, bowls, silverware, cooking items, tea and coffee. The patio has a propane BBQ and an antique table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Access to the cabin is either a walkway from main parking area or a stairway from one separate parking space above the cottage. Overnight (1 night) stays will be considered if the date is available.

The cottage is located between 2 roads which are not heavily traveled but we are close to the beginning of a varied older subdivision so expect some traffic. We are minutes from Bass Lake, a popular fishing, boating and picnicking area. Bald Eagles and Osprey nest at the lake. Just a 35 minute drive up Beasore Road one can visit Jones Store, a local favorite for hamburgers and pie in summer. It is above 7000 ft elevation so not accessible in winter. More information is provided in the cabin about trails and other places of interest in our area. Always check road conditions.

This is a lovely house located just ten minutes from Oakrust(where you can get many things) and is close to the park. The host is also very nice!

Shengxi2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

The cottage was clean, well appointed in a lovely setting, surrounded by Nina's garden. Easy access from the south to Yosemite (see Nina's accurate notes on travel times to the Valley and Glacier Point). We had a delightful stay.

Rob2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

We booked this Airbnb for our several day trip to Yosemite- we had an absolutely amazing trip, in no small part due to the accomodations with Nina. We tried to stay on a budget by bringing mostly all our own groceries, and the studio was stocked with all the tools we needed to cook. The location is right in the middle of Oakhurst, a town with all the necessary facilities, but still super close to Yosemite South Gate. The garden was STUNNING and such a peaceful place to relax in. All in all, wonderful stay and great value.

Megan2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I had a great time in Nina's lovely little cottage. It was the perfect place to relax after a long day spent hiking in Yosemite. I would definitely stay again next time I'm visiting the park.

Alexis2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

This is truly one amazing cottage close to Yosemite and bass lake! There is nothing lacking about this place. Don't miss out on an opportunity to stay here.

Great place for a stay at Yosemite. About an hour's drive away and a very comfortable, secluded house. Nina is great and has everything stocked and prepped when you get in. Very warm and welcoming, she will gladly answer all your questions.

Лю. Димитров2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

We enjoy the calm and the very confortable apartment very close to the south entrance to Yosemite. The patio in a side was wonderful for taking breakfast and watching the hummingbirds coming to say good morning. A place to remember.
